Snoop the dog won the nation's hearts when heartbreaking footage of his abandonment went viral on social media - and now his plight has caught the eye of a superstar from across the pond.

The latest celebrity offering to re-home the dog, according to the Daily Star, is none other than rapper Snoop Dogg!

The multiple Grammy nominee has offered Snoop a new home at his "Casa de Snoop" after seeing the video of the pooch being dumped in Stoke-on-Trent.

It was recorded at around 5pm on December 17 and shows a vehicle pull up on the corner of Timor Grove and Pacific Road, Trentham. A man gets out of the passenger seat car carrying a dog bed and leading a white and black dog.

He then crosses the road, leaving the bed on the pavement and unclips the lead, before running back to the car and driving away, while the distressed dog repeatedly jumps up at the window.

Now Snoop Dogg has told the Daily Star he should be the Staffordshire Bull Terrier's new owner.

He told the Daily Star: “It is heartbreaking. There is always room for another dog in Casa de Snoop.

“If he really needed a home then he has one with us.

“But I don’t think there is going to be any shortage of loving homes after all the exposure he has got.”

RSPCA inspector Natalie Perehovsky said: “The footage has to be seen to be believed. It’s just awful. To see the poor dog in such obvious distress jumping up at the car as it drives away it just heartbreaking. I can’t understand how someone could do this."

The vets scanned his microchip and we have traced two previous owners in the Birmingham area, but do not believe either are the current owners, and therefore not those responsible for abandoning the dog.

Ms Perehovsky added: "One man can be seen clearly in the footage dumping the dog, and there is a second person in the driver seat of the car. I am very keen to hear from anyone who recognises the vehicle, the man or the dog.

“The veterinary staff have nicknamed the dog Snoop, and he is in good condition, thought to be two years old. He is a white Staffie with black marking, and is such a friendly, lovely boy.

"He’s currently being cared for at a private boarding kennels where he will get all the care he needs whilst I investigate further. Anyone who recognises the vehicle, the dog or the men in the footage can contact me in complete confidence.

"It’s beggars belief that someone could abandon a dog like this at Christmas, but we are so thankful to the kind people who found Snoop sitting sadly in his bed, for taking him to the safety of a vets straight away.”

Since the video was released, hundreds of of other people have also offered to give Snoop a home - including other celebrities.

Writing on Twitter, Andrew Neil, the BBC political presenter said: "So disturbed by this footage. I say to RSPCA if you have trouble re-homing this little dog, I will take it gladly. I have been in tears. It was how the little dog tried to get back in the car that killed me."

Former Big Brother winner and DJ Kate Lawler said: "Fine, you can no longer care for your pet but for the love of God, please don't abandon animals in the street.

"There are shelters all over the UK who can help find your pet a new home. This is the most upsetting video to watch."
